My friend wrote a piece for Esquire about the passing of his wife (an extremely talented composer) and the music she left behind. It’s a beautiful meditation on grief and art and the way the two things inform each other; please read if you’re so inclined. mcusercontent.com/b2fc960a6273...
And with that, she got to work on the last piece of music
she would ever write.
By the time she was conceiving the sound world and structure of the piece, she was in the middle of her pregnancy. A significant portion of the work, though, came after our son was born and after her diagnosis. As the chemo cycles began, a friend and mentor sent her a supportive email, and in it was a line musing that the dual challenges of cancer treatment and newborn care must be "beyond the beyond."
"That's my title," Sarah said to me. "Don't you think?"

Because PJM uses an outdated interconnection process it take forever to get approval. Bottlenecked supply: Only 3 GW of new generation was added in 2022 and 5 GW in 2023 — nowhere near enough to meet new demand from data centers. If they copied Texas with connect and manage they could accelerate.

It's also unclear how much of the current problem is simply that the RTOs have so badly mismanaged interconnection queues that we simply cannot bring online sufficient capacity no matter what the market prices are! That seems to be what drove capacity prices up in PJM in 2024.
